VALENTYN’S AGGOUNT OF MALACGA. 
(Resumed from p. 746 of Journal No. 13 of June, 1884.) 
Leaving this prince and his new city fora while, let us 
return to Malakka, where more treachery was being plotted 
against its great conqueror ALBUQUERQUE 
“Raia [svrinvtis, wronged by King Maumup, had already, 
before the arrival of ALBuQuERQuE, tried to expel that prince: 
having made up his mind to obtain possession of the town: 
with the aid of some Javanese and one Pati (+) from Japara, he 
thought it now the right time to renew the attempt, the more 
so that he knew there were but very few Portuguese troops. 
So he sent a letter to the King’s son, who had fled to the 
island of Bintam, (7.c., Bintang, or more correctly Bentan ) 
informing him of his intentions, but his letter was mtercept- 
ed, and he, a man of eighty years of age, his son Pariacus, 
and his brother-in-law, who tried to enter the fortress, were 
arrested and decapitated in public, while their houses and pro- 
perty were destroyed and laid waste, and their memory con- 
signed to oblivion. It was to no purpose that his widow 
offered to pay one hundred thousand ducats if their lives were 
spared. 
Intent then on revenging herself, she promised her dame liver 
in marriage to a Moor called ParrcaTrr (Osorius calls him 
Pasecatie and Marresus, Quirirgius) who had been appointed 
head of the Moors by ALBuquERQveE, on condition that he 
should avenge the death of her husband, son and brother-in- 
law, Partcatrr having often previously in vain asked for her 
hand while Isurrnutis was still alive. 
(+) “ Pati Unus” according to Farra y Souza, who afterwards 
became King of Sunda.
